Thanks Tyrone, that means a lot to hear from you. Your builds are always super clean. Love the Green on the Nova's this model.
lghtngyello03 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 fantastic build, that engine compartment is stunning! color looks great, really fits the car, great work on this.Thanks!
lghtngyello03 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 Bet you guys are wondering what happened to this build, lol. Well, Christmas time came, and since my wife is from up North, we had to go up there for Christmas with her family, so there was my week and a half of Christmas Vacation. I did get back to the bench yesterday evening and got the body cleared, polished, and my BMF work done. I don't know how I have gone this long without a dehydrator, lol. I cleared this thing at about 4:30pm, and by 8:00pm I was ready to polish and good to go. All that is left to put the glass in, detail my panel lines, paint the radiator support and under hood area black, put the photo etch stuff on, and it will be ready to put onto the chassis.
lghtngyello03 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 Awesome and inspirational !!!Beautiful paint job there Scott! Yup - a real winner!Thank you guys! I'm super excited about getting this closer to being done. I'm anxious to see this one finished. Probably going to be my best, most detailed build to date.
Jhedir6 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Nice build Scott, that paint came out nice, personally I'm not liking the colour, but you did a fabulous job on it. David.

The color looks awesome in person. I'm taking my pics currently on the workbench with my cell phone, so it messes with the hue. I'm going to take the under glass pics with my DSLR.
mikemodeler Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Looks great, should be fun to see that on tables at the SCMA show in 2 weeks. Make sure you save your lunch money, I will be there with a bunch of kits to sell off!

lghtngyello03 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 I did get a little done last night. I got my panel lines washed, the radiator support on the body painted, all of the glass polished and in, and some of the photo-etched emblems detailed and installed.
mikemodeler Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Continue to impress with the details Scott! That is looking fantastic. And despite what a wife might say, you can never have too many models!

mikemodeler Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks Dave. And thanks to everyone who has been following this build and showing support. It keeps me going and makes me strive to be as good as you guys Don't worry, you have surpassed my skill level already. Very impressive build and details on this model, your patience and attention to getting the details correct is what sets you apart from some of us. I have never built a model with such detail and accuracy as my builds don't make it to model shows, they are for me and my model room.
lghtngyello03 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks everyone who followed this build. I'm happy to say it is now Under Glass! Please check it out here
Intmd8r Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I can’t say enough good things about this build – I like it more each time I look at it. Really impressive work.
mustang1989 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Heading over to see this one now......! Dude...wow is all I can muster!!!!

Dude...wow is all I can muster!!!!I can’t say enough good things about this build – I like it more each time I look at it. Really impressive work. Lol, thanks fellas. I have to say, I probably have had the most fun building this one. Everything went together without issue. Granted, I had to hack the body to death on the rear fender wells to fit the massive radials, but it went smoothly the entire process.
